Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hi All,

Went to Andrews to catch Mexican Air Force B787-8. It arrived 5 minutes before complete sunset.
I was there one hour before so caught some local traffic, including DC ANG KC-135 doing touch and go.

Great set.
Did you get a visit from base security officers or police officers?
Where did you take the pictures?
(I am going to be there in a few weeks)

You can't photograph from around the perimeter roads. You will be moved right away by MPs or by local police.
For 19s there is a spot about 1.5 miles north of the airport in the shopping center parking lot.
One word of advice, don't go there by yourself and keep low profile. Area around ADW is pretty bad.
If you want to return home with your camera and a wallet, be very careful...
